“Rugged ridges, deep gorges. Caroline Thon and Christina Fuchs work in a way that defies clichés, embraces multiple styles, and features advanced compositional techniques.”

“Noise-like soundscapes meet virtuosic wind sections; dense orchestral structures open up into spaces for improvisation before condensing once again into powerful soundscapes.”
Generalanzeiger-Bonn
“Real music by real people.“
Wochenblatt Singen
“Rich in textures, brilliant arrangements, and stunning solo moments, the ensemble captivates with its lucid presence—firmly anchored in the present yet envisioning the future.“

“NEW PROGRAM, NEW SOUND – The new program Reloaded #7 continues the orchestra’s tradition of performing only works written specifically for the ensemble by its conductors. … The Fuchsthone Orchestra is one of the most important large ensembles in the contemporary jazz scene. Its music goes far beyond the boundaries of classic jazz and classic big band literature. The audience at the Jazz Schmiede in Düsseldorf was moved and captivated by the music.” Uwe Bräutigam

„With their debut album „Structures & Beauty“ (enja/edel), the Fuchsthone Orchestra is taking a creative inventory. Recorded in June 2022 at the Deutschlandfunk broadcasting hall in Cologne, the material was more than enough for a double CD, but not one note, composition or solo should have been less.“
